- Thanks for growing with us!
Today we are answering your questions! Eric posted a story on Instagram and we were really excited at the amount of responses. We also shared two upcoming events that we have going on.
Coming up very soon is the Cape Cod Hydrangea Festival! We are very excited to tour gardens, spend time with our gardening friends, and also present at the Hyannis Country Gardens with Natalie from @pwcolorchoice
This program is called Late Afternoon in the Hydrangeas. We will be sharing some of our favorite varieties and companion plants we love.
⭐️ Late Afternoon in the Hydrangeas

Right after that event we will be in serious gardening mode as we prepare for our second Garden Conservancy Open Days Tour. We really enjoyed this last year and can't wait for our visitors to see how much the garden has changed since last year.

I think this is the best question and answer video I have seen to date 👏👏👏 I very much appreciated your going to the garden and showing us your plants and watering set up. Thank you! 😊
Glad it was helpful!
I agree! You guys are great!
Great session! 👏. I especially loved how you didn’t just sit and answer , but actually featured yourselves with the plants in question…very professional! So well done…love you two🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congrats! Enjoy the Hydrangea Festival.❤😊
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks guys!! I love to "talk" gardening with passionate gardeners so the q&a videos are fun. I also love that you both are so real. Christopher...likes azaleas Eric...no. And I lean both ways. I like azaleas but I have a tiny space so everything has to be long blooming and worth the space. Another great video...Debbie
Thanks!
Your gardening channel is one of my favorites! You might just be influencing me to plant roses... 😊
I'm so glad!
YEEEES YOU NEED A GIANT BOULDERS!!!!!!!!!!!
haha Eric would love it
Hi Guys...soooo enjoy watching you in your beautiful garden. I'm 70 and just spent 2 weeks removing sod from an area in my 7 year old garden. All the sod is being used to create a small berm in front of electrical boxes. I then plan the cardboard, compost and mulch topping to plant some smaller sized evergreens. Used this method to plant and mulch a row of fruit trees up my hilly side yard. Worked great. Too many underground wires to contend with. Currently laying paver edging as well. A little at a time. So slow going at my age but so satisfying! Love, love, love your garden. PS. I'm zone 5b as well.
That's a lot for any age!
❤❤❤
Lots of deer and bunnies in my yard, very destructive. I now plant only things they avoid. My lavender and herbs, lantana, artemisia, cleome, Shasta daisies, rosemary, catmint, geraniums, and more do very well. Liquid fence works pretty well but must be sprayed daily. Love your videos. You guys are amazing and the quality of your videos is very professional. Good job!!!
That is really awesome to hear
Really enjoyed your Q&A. Loved the fact that you displayed the question and then did cutaways to any plants mentioned. I'm sure that takes a lot of time editing; it's really appreciated. I look forward to watching your videos every week. You both do an amazing job tending to your beautiful gardens. It's really inspirational.
It did take a little extra but we want to make sure the videos are worth the watch!
I used fishing line around my property to keep the deer out. When they come in contact with the line that they don’t see, they turn around and go away…yeah!
This is a magic idea
Love the format of this Q&A!
Thanks!
The Norway spruce “Snuffleupagus” comment = Gold! 🙌🏻🤣💛
Hahah
You guys are great and can’t wait to hear about the hydrangea festival.
You guys never seem to argue, do you really get along that well or do you argue like most couples like my wife and I used too?
Of course we argue, I think it's part of the fun!
Oh a pond would be great!!
I think so too
Oh my, the Troemner spruce always blows me away. The unique architecture with slightly weeping branches and intense color are spectacular. There are plenty of pretty and weeping blue spruce, but this one just hits different!
Couldn't agree more!
Hate that you’re about to get the heat wave. I have been dying! I’ve got over 60 plants to get out and we are seniors who can’t handle the heat well. I just want to see everything in the ground that I’ve bought to see how it plays together! I’ve listened to y’all and others about design and really tried to be aware of contrast…But I did attempt the look you have with the bobo hydrangea, peach berry ice and Veronica. I have watched you tube videos of garden tours for over a year and can’t find anything that came close so I attempted to recreate it in mine to a certai extent. I must not be alone; the hardest part was finding the peach berry ice. Hopefully you are flattered and not offended. That area of your garden is what got me hooked when I saw it last year. Thank you for your inspiration. Best ones on You Tube by far! Mary in shot and humid Memphis
That is great to hear that you are trying to do the Peachberry and Ever After combo. Sometimes pieces of a "recipe" can be harder to find but hopefully you come across it soon enough. Peachberry comes back for us every year too.
Hi y'all 🙋♀️ Love your channel. 💙😊
Thanks so much
I wish you two would find a large space in the back of your garden for a Rhododendron. They look like an Azalea, only so much better. They are truly fabulous.
There are SO many in our area, we enjoy them in Spring
I agree with the azaleas I’m not a fan. I much rather have hydrangeas. Loved this video. You guys never fail to make me laugh and smile.
Thanks!
Christopher, “If you happen to be local…” I immediately Google map distance and see it’s a 15 hour drive. Seems *pretty* local if you ask me 😂
Oh goodness. Haha
I put Irish spring grated , cut up seems the deer and rabbits don’t like the smell I love the smell
We tried that but something ATE it
Oh shoot hope they don’t eat my stuff
Rabbit and deer fence repellent might help but were gloves it stinks put it on again after rain
So yucky
But it works better than other things
I love this type of Q&A. Great video guys. Because it is so hot, you guys must be enjoying the shaded part of the landscape with mimosas.
That's for sure
Looking forward to some vlogs from your travels. Your content just gets better & better!
That's awesome to hear
Wow! What a fact filled episode. If only you were closer to Maryland. I’ve said it before, you guys are the best.
thanks!
🤔 Looking at the aerial view. How about placing poles along the back of berm. Like a hole and wood or metal pole held in place with cement. Then running chicken wire from pole to pole. Run another roll above the first to give you 8 ‘ to 12’ of height?! Chicken wire is economical and would disappear, without blocking the view beyond. The poles could be placed strategically behind the greenery.
We have considered something like this
Awesome Q& A
Glad you enjoyed
Already have my tickets to your Open Day; looking forward to seeing you again!
Awesome! Thank you!
To the one who asked about squirrels eating the tubing. Maybe the squirrels are looking for water. Maybe put a dish of water out to see if that helps
Good thinking
Good Q&A! I could look at that overhead drone view of your property all day long, so much interest all the way around. It does make me curious though, if you were to do a large project like a pond or a green house (as mentioned at the end) would you be able access your backyard with equipment for such projects? From videos and the aerial view it appears the trees and curves might make it too tight to access but that could be deceiving.
We have considered that. We've definitely limited ourselves in what is possible
If I lived close, definitely would be at that garden tour. Where you both always interested in gardening or just since you bought your home? Both very knowledgeable on plants. And seem very likeable guys😊
We both started gardening after we built the house. Learning as we go
I will never get tired of watching your channel..keep up the good work.❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
Oh! I so wish I could be there for your garden tour in person- but seeing it online is second best....thank you guys for sharing your garden with all of us! God bless! Ontario Canada :)
Our pleasure!
Good morning Eric and Christopher😃finally back in the US, a garden is never done and forever changing giving constant opportunities for play, stay cool the remainder of the week🌞
We're trying!
Thank you so much for answering my question! You’re the best!
Thank you for asking!
You guys are the best, Love your garden and all the wonderful information you have to share
Thanks so much
I've had squirrels chew through wires for outdoor lighting multiple times!
little boogers
Great Video! My backyard is on the edge of a well populated forest and I do not have a fence. At the recommendation of Erin, the Impatient Gardener, I use Deer Stopper ll. No deer browsing and no unpleasant scent.....to humans anyway! Awesome stuff!
I will look this up immediately
Bobbex works for me so far. I plant lavender and herbs around the garden. I have a large area of wild raspberry bushes which they are welcome to.
I think it's a good idea to give them free reign of something outside of the garden
I love your garden! It is so beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Hey there gentlemen,Love your channel … love your videos and by the way I’m completely obsessed with your gorgeous yard!! I have a flamingo willow bush and would love to turn it into a”flamingo willow Pom-Pom bush” like the one you guys successfully created and experienced with… would you please consider sharing with us the steps it took you and how you went about doing this awesome project? Thanks so much I’d totally appreciate it! 💚🪴😊
We have a video from the spring about pollarding with all the steps
I just love you guys! Great personalities and so fun! Beautiful garden!!!💚💚💚
Thanks so much!!
I found you guys this spring and am thoroughly enjoying your videos. Your format for your Q&A was fantastic! Love it!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it
TY...
haha thanks
I like the way you have done your question and answer video.
Glad you liked it
Love your videos. Makes me smile and laugh too. Always learning something from you both, Your gardens are sooooo beautiful and well maintained. Stay cool,heat coming and here in Kansas City too. Water and water some more. Wish I could be at your garden tour in person.
Thank you for watching!!
Wonderful information. We have deer here in southern Connecticut, and last year they ate the tops of my beautiful bright yellow Asiatic Lillies, and munched on some Sedum Autumn Joy in the front yard. I spray with a deer and rabbit repellent I bought at Lowe's. This year, no deer have eaten anything.
great!
Oh wow... I need those panicle hydrangeas that you highlighted as your second favorite ❤. Sad that I live so far away in Virginia your garden tour would be amazing. To see all that beauty in person would be stunning.❤
Maybe one day!
Wonderful Q&A ! Very informative, l will use some of the info, but as you yourselves have stated every garden is different. 90 percent of what you have in your garden would never do in 9b South Texas! The heat would dissemate them, but everything is gorgeous in your garden!!.😊😊😊😊😊
You can have your heat back. These days in the 90s are no fun
@@growformegardening 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😊😊😊❤️
You may be sick of me as I plan to see you at Hyannis Garden Center and attend your Open Days. If you have a chance, pop over to Soares Garden Center in Falmouth. It is really special. In fact, the Manager and her husband have an open garden during the Hydrangea Festival Week (George and Marcia Chapman) and it always inspiring. Just like you, many years ago they started with a blank slate and it is a very inspiring garden. I almost forgot to say that this Q and A was fabulous!!! Thank you for all the effort you put it into this - it was amazing.
Of course we won't! We are excited to meet fellow gardeners
Your two fave hydrangeas are mine too! Invincibelle Spirit II has center stage near my front porch and it's huge in its fourth year. Fire Light Tidbit is a hidden surprise for those who walk into my separate raised bed garden at the far corner of my garden. Love them (all all the others too).
I love that
Good morning gentlemen! I thoroughly enjoyed your Q&A with my morning coffee. I’m thrilled to hear you’re planning to be at the kickoff to our Hydrangea Festival at Hyannis Country Garden! Do you have any idea what time you might be there? We’d love to meet you.
We aren't sure about timing just yet, but please say hi!!
Hydrangea Festival on Cape Cod? What fun!! Please keep us updated on how the Let's Dance Skyview is performing in the more shade location,. I am considering it for a spot in my garden with similar conditions. Thank you!
We have seen it...the foliage is very striking
Peony foliage is pretty in your landscape. The foliage is dark and has a pretty look and a different presence from other plants.
I do like it
Omg!!!! The way I SCREAMED!!! I am Hananeel Farm and asked about your favorite rose scent! I have Lady of Shallot! Now I obviously have to get Vanessa Bell!! Thank you so much for answering my question!!! 🤩You guys are the absolute best! 🌹♥️P. S. Happy Pride🏳️🌈
haha you must get one!
love this show and tell type Q&A video.
you guys have encouraged me to try the macrophylla hydrangeas. i've always been partial to panicles but i'm starting to dip my garden toes into the big leafs thanks to you!
Thanks
They are worth the extra work
You know what I heard from an old school farmer. “Human hair “. They said sprinkle it in your bed, it repels the deer. I haven tried it but they swear by it.🤷🏾♂️
I still haven't tried that one
I have an azalea with dark chocolate colored shiny leaves, so after the dark pink blooms fade it still provides interest. I will also be very interested in how you protect your big leaf hydrangea. My solution was very ugly!
Do you happen to remember the variety name of your Azalea?
To be near and visit your garden !!! 🫶 California
Aww thanks
We are also experiencing the heat dome here in Virginia. After watching your video 1. I will hold off fertilizing while the temperature is so high. 2. I will cut back my new Boom Chocolatta when the temperature decreases so it will get new growth. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and garden experiences with us. - Penny
Hoping for a cool down soon!
Long time no "see." I sold my home and moved into an apartment and even though the grounds are beautiful and I have a patio where I can put all of my plants, wind chimes, etc., it's not a garden so I REALLY LOVE looking at your gardens. Beautiful as ever! I miss my hydrangeas, as I had a lot of them on my former property. Can't wait to see how that goes.
Thank you for watching!
@@growformegardening Because I no longer have my home or my beautiful garden, I will live vicariously through you guys and your beautiful gardens. Lol.
So so beautiful and restful is your garden. Thank you for the deer info . My friend has a huge problem with them ( they nibble on her metal flowers too!!!) Squirrels 🐿️!! Ugh … do you know that they will get into your car engine and chew on wires !!??
oh I hope not!
Mailbox: Vinca Major, Dianthus, Climbing Rose(can be controlled), Phylox and Rose Campion.
good suggestions
Thank you for this Q&A. Lots of great information. I use liquid fence to deter rabbits and deer. I try to spray in the evening. Scent disperses by morning. I do hate having to spray after it rains…every time. I love the idea of the black chicken wire. Can you share what brand it is?? Thank you. 😊
That was something I found on the Lowes website. It is 18" tall
Squirrels chew the tubing looking for water. Put water bowls tucked into your landscape and it will reduce this problem.
interesting!
Purchased 3 Ancient Mariner David Austin Roses or your recommendation today
You will love them
Great Q & A. I feel everyone's pain 🐇🐇🐇I also am struggling. I have one baby that has decided she likes living here so I've caged any of my new or vulnerable plants. Plus I'm using liquid fence (for deer, I have fencing because my property is smaller).
Hopefully it helps
@@growformegardening hope so too!
Your channel is one of my favorite! I love watching your videos. Regarding the deer issue, I did temporarily put a fishing line in front of my garden bed. At night when the deer come, they can’t see it so when they touch it, it startles them and deters them from exploring further. I know not ideal from an aesthetics point of view but worth thinking about. Also how long do you run drip at dusk and dawn? Thanks a lot
I do like the idea of the fishing line.
How long do you run drip at dusk and dawn? I have been really struggling with this as I just installed drip in my garden informed by your incredibly helpful video! I realize it depends on the weather, soil etc but was wondering how you guys do it.
We run it only in the morning. Just an hour usually, but it really is garden to garden
While you're on the Cape, don't miss Heritage Gardens in Sandwich. Wonderful hydrangeas!
Noted!
Noted!
On the squirrel issue-they sharpen their teeth on things like drip tubing and solar light cords. We lost our solar lights on the pergola over winter when the squirrels chewed through it. Ugh!
oooooooh that makes sense
Milorganite for the deer
We have to give that a try
Hi. How long have you both been gardening ? Do you before you bought the house ? How did you get so good at it ?
Neither of us started gardening until after we built the house. We just love it
Have you seen the Eclipse hydrangea from First Edition? It has red purple foliage and berry colored blooms. It stopped me in my tracks at Lowes, so I had to get it 🥰💕👏 Thought you both would like to check it out, since you love hydrangeas too.
We have seen it. That foliage is cool
deer love arborvite
They sure do
How long do you guys run drip at dusk and dawn. Thank you for your great videos- they have been extremely helpful!
During the heatwave we ran it a LOT, but normally we run it for an hour when needed.
Thanks a lot. Do you run it for an hour everyday or 3-4 times a week. I am quite scared of over-watering so thanks for answering my questions. Very much appreciated
Honestly that is really hard to suggest. It really is garden by garden
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🌸🌸🌸🌸
@growformegardening - My question for you guys is how do you remember the names of all your plants? I have a hard time remembering what I planted in my little potted garden.
Practice!
Hi guys! I have a question about trees. I've always been afraid to plant a tree in the beds close to my foundation for fear it will cause issues. But, I see that you have a few. How do you decide if it's safe to do so? Thanks!
We choose trees that are columnar and make sure they are at least 6-10 feet from the foundation
Do you have a link or company name to order the ancient mariner rose on line? Thank you and love your gardens. 😊
We don’t. We either order direct from
David Austin or find them on garden center trips
@@growformegardening thank you for your reply. I've just found your channel and going back and watching your videos. Glad to see a gardening channel in my zone, I'm in new england.
@@Coco-zu9ob Welcome! We have really enjoyed sharing videos.
Did you lose any hydrangeas when you planted your hedge. I recently planted 8 Incrediball hydrangeas for a hedge in Georgia and it has been 100 degrees here lately and it looks like 3 are not making it 😞 so i won’t have a hedge after all. Do I try to replace in fall? I’ve been watering but my app scanner for diseases says they are over watered
Over and under watering often look the same. I’d wait until the fall to replace if you are staying that hot
❤❤🌹🌸

Where did Chris get his stallion hat?
It's from Goorin' Brothers.
Thanks so much! Love love love your beautiful gardens! We have a 3 year old home and we’ve done a lot of plantings but not nearly as much as you guys have. If you’re ever in the western Massachusetts area we would love for you guys to come visit. My latest purchase is the kintzleys ghost honeysuckle thanks to you guys 😆
@@TheJamieleegood We were just out visiting Ward's yesterday! That honeysuckle is awesome
I think squirrels were sent from hell to gardeners lol 😅. Squirrels have taking all my unripe vegetables off the plants and left everywhere. They dig up all my bulbs, they attack all my bird feeders, they dig up all my freshly planted annuals (petunias, pansies etc) and they dig all the soil out of my pots to bury their nuts. I also put down some round ant traps in some areas where I have anthills and they stole them 🤦🏼♀️. This is why I can't have nice things. Oh and sometimes they love to break off lily and bearded iris buds before they bloom just for kicks....I just started hybridizing my tall bearded irises and a squirrel broke off one of my precious seed pods 😱😡.
Oh my goodness they are awful!
@@growformegardening yesterday I watched one run across the top of my fence with a whole cinnamon bun in its mouth, run up a tree and hide it. Years ago I had my window open in the morning and walked my son to school less than 10 mins and one chewed through my screen and grabbed my bagel and was trying to pull it through the screen when I got home. They are pests. They also like to chew their way into people's attics and have their babies.
That is hysterical
Great video! Very thorough and helpful to see the answers in the garden. 🪴 my Let’s Dance Sky View refuses to turn blue even though I’ve put aluminum sulfate around it several times. Help! 😢zone 5b Hamilton ON 🇨🇦
Is it brand new? Sometimes the first flush stays pink and then as the soil around it changes it becomes bluer.
